Need
help with your youths & your program?
There is someone available to show you the way. Contact
your Group Commissioner or another member of our service
team. These people are not there by accident. They've
weathered more than a few storms in their time, and your
situation is likely just a "rerun" for them. They
may not be able to come save your meeting tonight, however,
they have the contacts and know-how to assist you to be
up and running a good program.
Our
service team; they are our valued resource people.
Use them!

Three Secrets Of Recruiting
(parent helpers
& potential leaders)
1) Personally identify & approach
someone to do a specific job or task. When
you provide specific parameters, you remove most of that
'scary unknown' and make it safe for someone to say
'yes'.
2) Show your appreciation. Sometimes
just a sincere word of thanks can make all the difference.
3) When someone offers to help, find
a way to make it happen. Follow up and utilize
their efforts & talents. People rarely
offer twice, and many people will talk for years about how
they made an offer and no one cared. |

Three 3
Methods Of Retaining Both Youth & Adults
1) Make sure
they feel they have some control over their programing.
2) Help them
feel that they belong; that someone cares if they show up
or not.
3) Linking activities
/ meetings with other age-sections or same age. Help them discover
the fun of the next levels, & of others in the same section.

Two
Rules For Meetings & Camps
(in
the interest of keeping it simple)
1) Fun
and Learning for Everyone.
2) Don't get
your parents or leaders in trouble! (see rule #1) |

Challenges
Within Your Leadership Team?
One possible solution to a disagreement is for everyone
to review their contract; the adult registration form we
all signed. This contract specifies certain behaviors, and
the easiest way to determine if you are all "keeping your
word" is to review your Scouter Promise and the Scout Law.
(Scouter Promise is the same as the
Scout Promise) "On my honour......."

|
Scout
Promise:
On my honour,
I promise that I will do my best,
to do my duty to God & the Queen,
to help other people at all times,
and to carry out the spirit of the Scout Law.
|
The
Scout Law:
A Scout is
helpful & trustworthy,
kind & cheerful,
considerate & clean,
wise in the use of all resources.
